I realized I should have posted this from the beginning. Here is the outline for the entire school year. I left one unit completely unit and other units partially open. If you have suggestions for units let me know and we can fill them in. We can also rearrange units. We can add units as well depending how long into December and May we would like to go.

May
Unit 1: Summertime (haha yeah right in Montana, but we can try to pretend there isn't ten feet of snow outside :) and America
Activity Day: If it is warm the splash pad. we could do a pool party in a garage maybe?
Unit 2: Preschool Olympics, maybe throw in some standardized tests just for fun :)
Activity Day: Olympics and graduation.
I think with each unit we could add some more math, science, writing, problem solving while still making it a fun, hands on learning environment.
Thoughts?
